Do we drink more in the summertime? A recent survey of drinking habits suggests a third of Britons do just that. The reasons given included the lighter, warmer evenings, more weddings and festivals taking place in the summer and the greater number of family and social get-togethers in the warm weather.

In these times of uncertainty, disruption and anxiety, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The temptation to have a drink to destress and unwind may feel natural, but in times of greater stress than usual, it’s easy to drink more than you realise.   

We will get through this – by staying healthy and staying well.

A growing number of employers are recognising the benefit of raising alcohol awareness in the workplace – not because they suspect employees are drinking on the job, but because they believe it is just as valuable to promote a healthy relationship with alcohol as it is to promote a healthy diet and regular exercise. 

We are excited to launch Drink Checker Work, our new free website to help employers support thier employees to check their drink.
